A short service will be held on Thursday at Burgess Hill’s War Memorial. Representatives from the town’s schools will be present, and a service will also be held in remembrance of the animals that served and died in the wars.
The town’s annual Remembrance Sunday parade will take place on November 14, starting from Cyprus Road Car Park at 10.25am. This will be followed by the Memorial Service at the War Memorial, Church Walk. There will be no service at St John’s Church this year to comply with their covid safety measures, so elements of this service will be included in the outdoor service at the War Memorial.
